Really, its a hard choice. Would you adopt that adorable little thing, or will you not.
It's not a hard choice at all if you read the mission epilogue that goes along with that piece of artwork. The mission was to secure some harpy eggs (by defeating the harpy boss without damaging any of the nests were you fight it) for some researchers to see if they could be raised to be friendly towards humans. Even if you take a harpy egg and have a human raise it from the moment it hatches, the harpy will still try to eat human flesh (the mission epilogue states that all the researchers were killed/devoured by the hatched harpies).
Would take time, but through a breeding program they could probably be able to obtain domesticated harpies that wouldn't eat humans. One batch of eggs though wouldn't be enough, since you'd need to select only those that display a friendlier demeanor toward humans and then proceed and breed those together, and then each generation keep selecting and breeding those that display the friendliest behavior toward humans.
As for the researchers having gotten devoured, sounds to me like a lack of precautions on their part.

Harpies breed using humans. So you'd have to sacrifice humans each time.

Care to elaborate on the details on how they're needed for the reproduction? Depending on how the humans are used for the reproduction could mean that no sacrifice is truly necessary.

It actually depends on the lore since harpies are a greek mythos which is sometimes referred to as sirens same with mermaids. Sirens also have their own classification of monster. As far as breeding goes ships in all cases are lead to their doom as prey for mermaids, harpies, sirens, or other sea monsters. Though all depictions of the 3 we are focusing on is female and lead men to their demise, it can be assumed that they are the hunters to bring food back to their family. In more recent depictions of monster girls have human males be the breeding and food fodder for the respective species. In all depictions, save some exceptions, though humans are merely food.

The mission description for one of the harpy-related missions (I think it's the one where you have to solo the harpy boss) mentions it's rumored/believed that harpies need human males to reproduce because only female harpies have ever been discovered, and the mission itself revolves around a nobleman's son whose been seduced by a harpy after his lover died.

Stop trying to apply your shitty retarded MGE logic to other settings.

That isn't from MGE this is actual mythos from Greek sailing. Don't just assume that it is from one particular series that actually does take from other mythos without research
